Happy July! It is going to be a hot one today, with highs reaching into 90s for the warmest day of the year. No worry, however — it will be short-lived as ocean air will make its way inland tomorrow and the rest of the week. So a cooling trend is on its way.
Pleasant weather is forecast through the long Fourth of July weekend. Maybe morning clouds, with highs 75 to 80 degrees, Thursday through Monday. No rain in sight, except maybe some drizzle right on the coastline. The recreational forecast has green lights everywhere.
Last July had a similar start — the high temperatures for the first seven days were 91, 86, 84, 75, 75, 79 and 79 degrees. That 91 degrees from last July 1 matches our high so far this year, and we will most likely surpass that today.
I will say one thing: It was a bit on the chilly side early Monday, with temperatures in the outlying areas into the 40s. We should remain in the 55-60 degree range most of the week for lows.
